The Estoril Open, scheduled for October 11th-14th, has been cancelled by the tournament promoters, the European Tour announced today.
"The people who promote the event, Joao Lagos Sports SA in Lisbon, have cancelled the Estoril Open, but we are still waiting to hear further details from them as to why," said a European Tour official.
The event was to have been staged at Quinta da Marinha in Cascais the same week that the World Matchplay Championship takes place at Wentworth.
Frenchman Jean-Francois Remesy won the inaugural Estoril Open at Penha Longa in 1999 but last year's tournament was cancelled because of sponsorship difficulties.
